Megan Crocket's Half Marathon Page

The half-marathon was awesome! I am so pleased with how it went - I am just so thrilled! My time was 2:09:42 - quite a bit faster than I had anticipated.

Ghoti, thanks for running the half with me. You pushed me and I ran so much better as a result. It was great to run with a friend.

Killer B, thanks for being my personal trainer and pushing me on all those training runs. Thanks also for the times when you ran at my pace in training. And congratulations on your great time!

Thanks also to the Blokes. Without the running group I would never have considered doing the half-marathon.

Thanks to my supporters on the day. Mum and Dad, who came to the start and were there at the finish, thanks so much for your support. Jen, Linda and Sam, who were my cheerleaders at the finishline, thanks so much for your enthusiasm. Ghoti, thanks for the use of your shower - I sure needed it! Paddy, thanks for the sausage sizzle and the lift. Killer B, thanks for the lift home.

Thanks to everyone who has encouraged and supported me along the way. Hame, thanks for your expert advice on my ankle injuries. Particular thanks to Leo for believing I could do it and giving me so much practical support.

Finally, and this is really important, thanks to all those who've sponsored me and supported the Heart Foundation. I really appreciate your generosity towards this great cause. Thanks to you I've exceeded my target of $200.

(Let's hope I never win an Oscar, how long would my acceptance speech be ;)
